The Tale of the Heart and the Mind
The heart was set,
but the mind was not.
The heart felt stolen
with no second thought.
The mind did warn
the heart and say,
'The feeling's not right,
let it go away....'
But the heart was hopeless
in the depths of love,
and completely deaf
to the mind above....
When it began to drown,
in the feelings it felt,
the mind came by
and beside it knelt.
As the heart begged,
'Oh let me go!
I am his
and nothing more!'
The mind then warned
one last time,
'This feeling of yours
has no reason, no rhyme!'
'Stay.....Stay....
for you shall be lost,
you shall be broken
but at what cost?'
